That was a lot of heart. He said he felt good, but I knew he'd tell me that.

We knew it was coming. I love him. I told him after the game, he was great. He was a beast.
decision gets knew
We knew he was going to have to make a decision at some point. Once he gets cleared, we've got to know. We've got to make a decision because it's getting to be drama.
depending knew people teams three
We knew there were going to be times that we're going to play bigger, even three forwards depending on teams we play. It's not real complicated. We can put people in different spots.
happen knew sure time virginia west
I thought West Virginia was just great. It's the Big East. You knew it was going to come some time where someone was going to play a better game. We've just got to make sure it doesn't happen again.
five four guy knew pounds surprise
He?s good, but we knew that already because we recruited him. He?s a four or five for a Connecticut team, so he?s going to be a guy who pounds you, who?s very physical. He?s not a surprise to us.
aspect great knew player spiritual strong
I never thought we could get a player from a nationally renowned program. I knew there was a strong spiritual aspect to him and great intelligence.
beat both depth game impressive knew surprise year
I didn't think someone would do it this year because of the depth of the conference, because of how much every game is going to take out of you. This is real impressive for both teams. It doesn't surprise me, any of the upsets, because we knew we could get beat any night.

We're going to need him. He gives us more size out on the perimeter.
extra hit pass
When we double-teamed them, they made the extra pass and hit the 3.
dropped good ncaa prepare time
When we did it in the NCAA Tournament, it was kind of dropped on us. We didn't have a lot of time to prepare. I feel good that we have a little more time to prepare and play that way.
hit lead
When we had that 10-point lead we hit a lull. Then it was a game.
concerned couple tough worried
When we had some tough times a couple of years ago, we were all concerned about the program. I never, ever worried about my job. We all worried about the program.
